I've known more than a few times where a good old "noapic nolapic" snapped a box out of some strange and seemingly unrelated problems...
Also, is your BIOS fully up to date/modern? A quick Google search found a few things like this: http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-18940-USB-Hub-And-Boot-Problems.html The problem might be more generic than a bad interaction between drive and kernel.
